Your dinner's in the dog

Jo had an upset stomach yesterday evening and overnight, to the extent that there was even a (whisper it) little accident waiting for Mike when he got up this morning.
She had no breakfast, much to her bewilderment, and has now just polished (literally) off her dinner of roast chicken and pea risotto cooked in duck stock:

Hopefully she'll do ok on that and be able to go back to normal tomorrow.
(The only thing that I can think of that would have caused it is the mouse that I gave her yesterday morning, so no more mice for Jo.)
We've had a fair bit of snow, on and off, today. It turns out that the ducks are really quite well camouflaged in the snow:

We're supposed to be having a riding lesson tomorrow. We've already had to reschedule three times, iirc, because the school's been too hard at 9am, and decided to play it safe this time by waiting until the afternoon, but I'm still not sure it's going to happen:

Little House on the Ebook

Having never read them, I developed a hankering to work through Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books. Mike used to own them on paper, but they went many years ago. He did manage to find me an eBook of the first volume on gutenberg.ca, but only the first volume: there's presumable some sort of hellish copyright thing going on that someone is enforcing strongly (possibly because of a TV series that I vaguely remember hearing about?). As a last resort, I figured I could use my Amazon slow-shipping-credits to actually buy the eBooks, but apparently they don't exist. Wha?
Here, have a video that could be entitled "It started out as such a normal day in the field...."
